Triumph: We are proud to announce that we, Triumph, are Record Store Day Canada Ambassadors! On June 12th a rock music collector’s dream will drop; the ‘Allied Forces’ 40th Anniversary Box Set.

RSD EXCLUSIVE 40TH ANNIVERSARY BOX SET OF ‘ALLIED FORCES’ IS SET FOR RELEASE ON JUNE 12, VIA ROUND HILL RECORDS

One of the greatest and most successful Canadian rock bands of all-time, Triumph, first rose to prominence back in the golden era when vinyl was king – and the preferred format of most music fans.

So, it makes perfect sense for Triumph – Rik Emmett(guitars/vocals), Mike Levine (bass, keyboards) and Gil Moore (drums, vocals) – to be named Record Store Day’s Canadian Ambassadors 2021

Previous Canadian RSD Ambassadors have included Marie-Mai, the Trews, and the Sheepdogs, and RSD Ambassadors have included Metallica, Pearl Jam, and Brandi Carlile, among others.

To prove this point, the band will also be releasing a Record Store Day exclusive/40th anniversary box set of their classic 1981 album, ‘Allied Forces,’ fully loaded with rare archival content and assorted unearthed gems.

A rock music collector’s dream, the Round Hill Records-issued set will include:

Vinyl #1 : Picture Disc of Original ‘Allied Forces’ Studio Album
Vinyl #2 : 2xLP ‘Live in Cleveland’ 1981
Vinyl #3 : 7” Single – Tribute 2021
Version of “Allied Forces” + “Magic Power” Live from Ottawa 1982 (Never Before Released)
11×17 Maple Leaf Gardens Poster (CANADA EXCLUSIVE)
24-page booklet featuring rare photos and behind the scenes. + ‘Allied Forces’ essay
40th Anniversary Allied Forces retro tour book
40th Anniversary Allied Forces retro tour poster
40th Anniversary Allied Forces retro tour pass
Rik Pics (3 Hand Drawn Cartoons)
Handwritten Lyrics (Magic Power, Allied Forces & Fight the Good Fight)

The trio’s first record to be recorded at their studio, MetalWorks, ‘Allied Forces’ spawned such rock radio hits as “Magic Power,” “Fight the Good Fight,” and “Say Goodbye,” as well as the title track, which became an automatic concert favorite. The album was also the highest-charting of the band’s career and earning platinum certification in the States.

“We’re extremely proud of ‘Allied Forces.’ It was the record that started the global rocket ride for us and we’re also excited to share with our fans some really great moments from our archives with this boxset.” – Mike Levine

A documentary and tribute record that are both in the works. On June 12th, 2021, fans will get the opportunity to re-experience ‘Allied Forces’ in an entirely new way!
